whatever, Celtics are a legitimate championship team fully capable of winning it all, either he had no choice behind the scenes or it was ego but even ego wouldn't put me with the Pacers, why would i say i would not want to rebuild but go to the team where rebuilding is the primary concern since Reggie left? and David West ain't getting no younger neither

West basically did not want to commit to Celtics for a long period because he didn't think Celtics would be a decent team after the Big 3 is gone in a year or two. That is, I believe, what he meant by "young and deep".

If he seriously thinks that Pacers are currently deeper than Celtics are than I think his injury involved another body part, not his knee. I believe the Latin word for that organ is cerebrum.

sounds 2 me that like every other NBA player he is selfish, not down to earth at all, and pampered. He knew he wouldnt be a key piece here. The whole KG at center thing wasnt gonna work and he prob wouldn't be able to get as many shots up as he usually does. If JO by some miracle from god can stay healthy this will work out in our favor anyways. It sure as hell aint gonna work out for him. He'll continue to be a selfish (15-20 shots a game) overpaid player on a garbage team

what a great explanation... who cares about age? Boston still has a better chance of winning a title this year than Indy does. David West will retire with zero rings. you know what they say, Karma is a bitch.

WOW! david west just took a shot at the celtics "pacers are YOUNG" lol! its funny how he thinks just cause of that they are so much better lmao! wack ass west fk out of here with that, he shouldnt of responded at all.

As much as we are lacking at the 5 position; in the final analysis I would say that we came out much better by holding on to JO than to have lost him in the acquisition of West.Without Oneil we would have been lacking miserably at the 5-spot.

Fuck who ever runs this website deletes my messages cuz im realistic n not a one sided homer....all of you sound dumb age does matter and this is the same west you all was our savoir...now he sucks n is "wack"

Celtics will be okay in the future! they won 17 banners without a great free agency signing in their history!! players who dont wanna play for a team like boston are so dumb! its sad why so many superstars in this league would rather go to a place like l.a,miami,newyork because they care about nice weather,rap contracts and reality tv contracts instead of winning championships! boston has an amazing history and a great gm and coach and should be a destination for superstars but sadly they will not be! blame the league boston fans we should have jus cancelled the whole season and look for major reform on the cba, based on this problem of stars wanting to go to big markets. well like i said we won 17 banners without signing a great free agent unless they trade! danny better start dealing in the future of else boston is screwed! go celtics!

David has every right to choose whatever team. Part of was NO not being able find a third party for JO, but most of it was for the money! If it was about young and deep, then why not sign with the Sixers?

The Sixers are young, but much more legit and talented than the Pacers!

Clearly DWest is one of those guys who'd rather be the center of attention for a 30 win team in a small market and doesn't want the pressure of actually winning. If that's the case he would have been a cancer.
